Continuador de la tradición del cuento de terror, H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) innovó el género con aportaciones procedentes de una veta personalísima de temas y obsesiones en la que se dan cita el mundo sobrenatural, el saber esotérico y las ensoñaciones oníricas. Creador de una mitología fantástica y prolífico autor de cuentos y relatos breves, publicó asimismo tres novelas, entre las que destaca *El caso de Charles Dexter Ward*, obra en la que el horror se funde con materiales narrativos de naturaleza realista en el mejor estilo lovecraftiano.

“FROM a private hospital for the insane near Providence, Rhode Island there recently disappeared an exceedingly singular person.”
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft spent most of his life in New England. After his father's institutionalization in 1893, he lived affluently until his family's wealth dissipated after the death of his grandfather. He then lived with his mother, in reduced financial security, until her institutionalization in 1919. He began to write essays for the United Amateur Press Association, and in 1913 wrote a critical letter to a pulp magazine that ultimately led to his involvement in pulp fiction. He became active in the speculative fiction community and was published in several pulp magazines. Lovecraft moved to New York City, marrying Sonia Greene in 1924, and later became the center of
